6. Types of MDP’s conducted by SMC

There are mainly two types of MDP’s conducted by department of Management & Commerce, Poornima Universtiy : Open MDP’s & Customized MDP’s.

OPEN MDPs

• These MDPs centre around key business fundamentals like Managerial Effectiveness, Team Building, Cost Management, Sales & Marketing skills, Management of Organizational Change, etc to emerging issues like Big Data, Creativity & Innovation, and Leadership. These programmes are in the nature of ‘open-enrollment’ courses with participation open to all practicing/experienced managers and/or executives.
• The pedagogy employed involves a variety of teaching methods: case studies, simulations, role plays, closed group analyses, and applied learning projects, interspersed with lecture sessions on theory and practice. The sessions are essentially interactive, and participants are encouraged to question assumptions, identify opportunities, solve complex problems, develop operational performance, boost productivity, and in the process, build sustainable competitive advantage. The knowledge and insights gained as a result of such sessions have immediate applications for high-priority management challenges. As a result, participants as well as the sponsoring organization receive a rapid –and lasting– return on investment.

Under this format, courses are designed in collaboration with the client organisation, and scheduled at a mutually convenient date and venue.
